I also love the repeat of shapes, like that sweater and her hand, also so nice how one does not see bird number 3 right away, a surprise in a painting is such a gift in my opinion. He clothes that sleeve, that jacket had to cost a small fortune having such detail and color, yes I love the background that came into the jacket. Your people always have such good taste in clothing.

This is gorgeous, Sharon! I can't believe how ong it's been since I've visited, but I've blogged very little, since I started painting full-force. Between school and the gallery, I don't have a lot of free time, but, since it;s Chritmas, I thought I'd treat myself to some "viisting!" I'm so glad I did and got tosee this wonderful painting. I love the stripes and the birds and the serenity of her face.

Dear Sharon, WoW!! What an outcome, this is breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing the process as you struggled with it.I beleive I stop at the "bad vibe" point too often. Thanks for the inspiration! ajae mccain

About Me

Me Myself and I

I love using my hands to do anything. I get lost creating. Painting faces, collage, mixed media, and altered books are my passions.

Digging in the dirt feeds my soul. Flowers are one of God's greatest creations.

I'm shy although one might not know it. I have too many opinions and can't keep them to myself.

AND THEN........

Every now and then, I just need to touch cloth. I use unwanted clothing, cast offs, remnants, unfinished works-in-progress, cloth napkins, table cloths, curtains, and my stash which is pretty extensive.

And then, I sit and stitch. And stitch. Because stitching calms and relaxes me. It quiets the chatter in my head and keeps me upright in the chair zone in the evenings. And that is The Cloth Side Of Me.
